I saw this a few years back and thought it'd be a neat idea to do, say in 2016, when our young stars were beginning to mature.
The way I see it, the Flames have had five generations of players:
The 80s - Greats
The 90s/Early 2000s - Middle of the pack
2004-2009 - Stars
2010-2013 - Awful
2014-present - Rising stars
It's fun to compare players from different generations, and to see which generations' players stand out. So, keeping in the tradition of the circa 2014 threads, I thought I'd create a new set of polls to recognize the best players to have donned each number for the Flames.
Rules:
- I won't put in players for numbers they aren't well-known for (IE: Iginla (24), Lombardi (49))
- Vote honestly
- Have fun!
To steal a guideline from the old thread:
I pick off a key group of players for each jersey. I don't use every name, as that gets tedious and unnecessary (probably go with 5-7 unless there are many that wore the same number).
We start with #1.
My vote:
Roman Turek
Jersey Poll 2016 - All Time #1
), I think he wore 31 more, and later in his career as you have suggested
